A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Ex-Minister of Justice Ricardo Lewandowski warns that the US decision to designate Brazil's PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital) and CV (Comando Vermelho) criminal factions as terrorist organizations will turn Brazil into an international pariah. He argues this will scare foreign investors and increase the cost of investing in the country, as companies will need to exercise greater caution when moving money into Brazil due to the risk of harboring organizations labeled as terrorist groups.
